This course is sponsored by the Abbe Museum (Bar Harbor, Maine), an educational resource for Native American studies. The purpose of this course is to offer content knowledge for teachers of all grade levels and disciplines to meet LD 291 requirements, as outlined in the new Maine Learning Results. The course will provide teachers the opportunity to learn about a variety of topics, moving from archaeological evidence of Maine’s pre-contact past, to contemporary issues surrounding the unique economic status of the Wabanaki, and stereotypes and racism Maine’s Native people face. Each topic area will include sample classroom activities and/or lesson plans, along with time for discussion so teachers can generate ideas among their peers about ways to incorporate the content into the classroom. As often as possible, this information will be presented by Wabanaki people themselves, offering teachers the opportunity to ask questions and learn from first hand accounts. (This course will be held at Bangor High School).
